Koh's Sprite Joint

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Shawn and kori have made some good points, but I think the body lacks contrast in relation to the rest, so here's my take on your sprite:

Your sprite is "noisy", in the sense that it has a lot of very small pixel clusters, which scramble our ability to read what's happening. Try working with larger cluster shapes that can convey the form you want, rather than working with 1x1 pixels.
